Braves' Jorge Soler: Diagnosed with hamstring strain

Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said after Thursday's 6-0 loss to the Giants that Soler has been diagnosed with a mild left hamstring strain, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Soler was forced out early in Wednesday's 13-2 win with the hamstring injury, then sat out the series finale while he awaited the results of an MRI. Snitker labeled Soler as day-to-day after the MRI results came in, leaving Atlanta optimistic that the 32-year-old outfielder won't require a stint on the injured list. According to Mark Bowman of MLB.com, Soler said he will sit out Friday's series opener against the Angels, but he also noted that he's feeling better after a day of rest and may be able to return to the lineup at some point later in the weekend.
